Don't compare the sound of this cymbal to some of the more expensive cymbals, it's good for beginners and works well as a backup crash

, I am a beginner at drums, but I been playing guitar for long time , so been around drummers and this crash is great without breaking the bank

Crash looks better than it sounds

Solid sounding crash especially for the

It's not the worst, but replicates more of a gong than a quick, sharp crash sound

Has a nice crash sound, just not studio quality

Good crash cymbal for a great price

This is a really nice sounding crash

Thanks Meinl for a fantastic affordable crash.

This is an excellent crash cymbal for a student drummer or on an experienced drummer's practice kit.

Warm medium crash sound is exactly what it delivers.

IBought this based on reviews, video, and that I have the Meinl ride/crash, which like, as well as the very snappy hi hat set

Ordered the 18" ride that will probably sound more like what this crash sounds like with a deeper sound
